Locus Bai slightly adjusted her light blue satin flowered jacket, adjusted the gold lock necklace with a red gold pendant and the words "May Everything Be Well" on it around her neck, took small steps to avoid the servants, and ran to her grandmother's room.
Taking advantage of his young age, he hid behind the screen and listened to Bai's mother, mother, and uncle's family discussing this matter. Their conversations were all about Aiden Gu. He still had to ask his eldest brother and An'er what they thought.
Bai Qi'an listened to his grandmother whispering
"If An'er doesn't want to, I will go to the Gu family and beg for help even if it means risking my old face. Our family has some dignity, and we will never let An'er be bullied by Yan'er!
Then Bai Lang comforted him:
"Master Gu told me to bring An'er back every day. Although I can't go into the backyard, I can ask the maids of the Zhao family to take care of her."
"The Taoist priests and monks read Yan Ge'er's fortune and said that he was blessed with great fortune. Perhaps if An'er follows Yan Ge'er for a long time, his body will be as healthy as Yan Ge'er's."
He said a lot of funny things, which finally made the atmosphere in the room better.
Bai Qian deliberately ran a few steps, calling out to his grandmother, and then he gathered his strength and got into Bai's mother's arms.
After hearing Locus Bai's childish voice, the conversation in the room stopped.
Bai's mother laughed and said:
"My dearest grandson, why didn't you take a nap in the house, but came to your grandmother and clung to her like a candy."
Bai's mother called the nanny outside in and scolded her for not being attentive, and then made Bai Qian run out wearing her little coat.
"Who's following you? You didn't even hold the hand warmer properly. Look at my An'er's face, it's so cold. He must be frozen. I'll let him go!"
Locus Bai touched his grandmother's sleeve with his little hand and said in a baby voice:
"The grandson woke up and thought that the milky white grapes here were the most delicious, so he ran over without even calling them."
He took advantage of the fact that he was still a child and acted coquettishly to Bai's mother. Only after Bai's mother laughed did he greet his mother, uncle and his family.
Although Bai Lang and the others stopped talking, it was unknown how much the child had heard. Now he could only smile and nod.
They thought they would discuss it together after their eldest brother came back. The most important thing now was to prepare the carriages and horses to go to Nianhua Temple to burn incense.
Seeing that the family was ready, Bai's mother liked the excitement, so she brought more than a dozen people to join in the fun of Guanyin's birthday.
When we arrived at Nianhua Temple, we saw many pilgrims burning incense, lighting candles, kowtowing and making wishes. It was very lively.
The Bai family offered several bowl-sized peace lanterns in the temple to pray for blessings. Naturally, they did not have to squeeze in the front. As soon as they arrived, they were invited to the back where the lanterns were offered to pray for blessings. After Bai's mother, Lin and Liu each threw a lot, they asked Master Qingyi to interpret it.
Locus Bai was not idle either. He had been taken by his servant Zhu Ling and two strong maids to the backyard to change clothes under the guidance of several monks.
I wonder if he will dress up as a little boy or a little Guanyin this year.
In the backyard of Nianhua Temple, Bai Qinan was wearing a white Guanyin costume, holding a willow branch and a jade bottle, and the abbot personally put a red dot on his forehead.
The child who was dressed in gold and jade before has become a little Bodhisattva in the blink of an eye, with round almond eyes half-closed in a look of pity and compassion.
Although she is still childish, her delicate features show her future beauty.
At this time, the child's cheeks were slightly red with embarrassment, listening to the endless praises from the people around him, which made people feel even more adorable.
The abbot smiled and sighed
"If you were not born in a wealthy family, I would have accepted you as my disciple. I see your affinity with Buddhism is getting stronger and stronger."
The two maids knew that the abbot was teasing Bai Qian, so they also smiled and talked to him.
"The tears of the lady and the old ancestor are about to flood the Nianhua Temple!"
Bai Qian pursed his red lips and laughed a few times.
"No, no, I haven't severed my worldly ties yet, and I haven't repaid my parents and grandmother's kindness yet, so how can I shave my head and convert? And my father brought me a new hairpin yesterday, how can I wear it after I shave my head? It would be a waste!"
The abbot never thought that an eight-year-old child could say such a thing, and he loved him even more.
He personally carried him to the lotus platform, told the monks to carry him carefully, and then walked out first.
The altar in the temple has been cleaned up long ago, and the procession of paying homage to the gods will walk around the temple before the ceremony can begin.
The monk lifted the lotus platform steadily and walked out. The maids and servants walked on the outside to keep an eye on the situation.
As two monks carried Bai Qian out, a group of monks surrounded Guanyin in an orderly manner, chanting the name of Guanyin Bodhisattva.
Walk outside the Nianhua Temple and recite together
【The Universal Door of Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva】
Great Compassion Mantra
【Mantra】
Bai Qian sat on the lotus platform and felt the smoke
The gray mist and the smell of sandalwood in front of him made him feel as if he had really become a golden Buddha sitting on a clay platform.
He lowered his eyes and looked dimly at the believers around him.
Locus Bai silently recited these three scriptures in his heart
He half closed his eyes and prayed to the Buddha to bless his family with peace and happiness, and to complete the mission successfully.
[Ding---The mission target has been found! ]
Xiaomei's excited voice suddenly rang out, and the feeling of being watched brought Bai Qian back to his senses. He subconsciously looked in one direction.
However, he could only see a sea of heads, and the palpitations he felt just now seemed to be an illusion.
"What's going on, Xiaomei? Isn't it the setting that Aiden Gu hates these gods, Buddhas, ghosts and monsters the most? And is his B*tt okay? It's healed so quickly in just one month? Why did he come to a place like Nianhua Temple with so many people around?"
[Xiaomei starts the test! Send information about people around Aiden Gu---Shen Yewen, Aiden Gu's cousin]
[The plot in the original book is as follows
{Shen Yewen felt sad when thinking about the friendship he had with Aiden Gu when they were young. He also thought about how his aunt was still thinking about this unfilial son before she passed away, while he was out riding horses and traveling around the mountains and rivers. His heart hardened a little.}
{He hardened his heart and waved to Aiden Gu.
"It's only been a hundred days since my aunt passed away! Instead of carrying the coffin back to Yanzhou, you want to steal the tofu girl's recipe! It's unreasonable! Go away! My Shen family has nothing to do with your Gu family anymore!"
(Xiao Mei's comment: The target of the task is really filial!)
At this time, Shen Yewen came to Jinling as a guest. He wanted to go to the temple fair to have some fun, so the father of the mission target showed mercy and let Aiden Gu out. They will go to gamble on dogs and cockfights later! 】
Bai Qian closed his eyes, and became even more desperate about the mission.
Can such a fearless dandy really save him? !
Just as they were returning from Nianhua Temple, the Bai family was wealthy, but after all, they were just a newly-risen middle-class family, and they did not have as many rules as the main family. The family sat together in a lively atmosphere.
Today, we offered food to the Buddha, so the table was filled with red rusk tenderloin, vegetarian three fresh vegetables, cold black fungus and roasted bran, vegetarian chicken with flowers, fresh mushrooms and vegetable hearts, bamboo shoots and fern, and golden broth.
Because Bai Qi'an had eaten the jade dew balls fed by the abbot in the temple, he only had half a bowl of Zhenjun porridge, which was made by boiling apricots and removing the pits.
After the meal, they sat in Bai's mother's room and talked. Bai's mother fed Bai Qian some sweet-scented osmanthus sugar steamed chestnut flour cake.
I heard the maid outside say
"The master is back"
Then he put Bai Qian down and asked him to go and pay respect to his father.
The double-breasted door curtain was opened and closed, and the footsteps were getting closer and closer.
Bai Qian tilted his head. His father's footsteps were not as calm as before, but hurried.
I heard the sound of passing by the rosewood ivory carved plum blossom screen
I saw a handsome middle-aged man, with a gentle demeanor and lips that always had a faint smile, but at this moment, he pursed his lips tightly.
Michael Bai bowed to his mother before accepting Bai Qinan's greeting. He held Bai Qinan's hand and sat down on the seat to the right of Bai's mother's couch.
He nodded to his brother Bai Lang before speaking:
"Today Thomas Gu invited me to his home for tea, and then mentioned that he wanted to hire a teacher to teach Yan Geer at home, and also wanted to choose one or two reading companions to accompany him in his studies.
I think he has set his sights on An'er, and he also mentioned that the old man in the mansion also has this intention. I'm sure my second brother has heard about this. I don't dare to agree, so I came to ask mother for her opinion."
Bai's mother then said:
"I know what you mean. Although An'er doesn't go to that mansion, the gifts sent by that mansion on his fifth birthday are no different from those given to close nephews and nieces."
"When she came to our house to have New Year's wine, the old lady always loved An'er very much. Although he was a servant in our family, the Gu family never scolded him. Besides, you have a good relationship with Mr. Gu, so how can you shirk such a small matter!"
"But there is only one thing. When I look at Brother Yan, I am not saying anything offensive, but he is really a devil who hurts my heart! I usually look at him coldly and sigh in my heart. Although the master was naughty when he was young, he was not as fearless as Brother Yan."
Glancing at her eldest son's gloomy expression, Bai's mother paused and lowered her voice.
"I'm just afraid that this Yan Ge'er will bring trouble to our An'er. An'er usually studies and writes, and his wife takes care of him. Not only does he write well, but you also said that he is getting better and better at reading, even better than when you were in school."
"Your grandfather and your father, after two or three lifetimes, only managed to produce a few of you. Now that you are an official, your brother can be considered worthy of his master."
"Our family is naturally prosperous. I just pray for my master when I have nothing to do at home. We don't expect all our children and grandchildren to be successful, but they must be loyal to the country and live up to the Lord's grace. It's just that Mr. Gu's only son is in such a bad situation..."
He sighed again:
"Now that you are an official, you won't listen to me anymore. Just do what I want you to do!"
Michael Bai bowed and said:
"Of course I know what mother means, but...sigh...the Gu family has been very kind to us...Mr. Gu has always been kind to me and has never asked us for anything."
"Now I am so distressed for my child. My son can't bear it. Uncle Gu also said that An'er is at his house just like in ours. He only needs to study and write with Yan'er. He doesn't need to do anything else. He will come back after dinner. This really makes my son speechless."
After Michael Bai said this, everyone just lowered their heads in silence.
Locus Bai looks at this and that
He spoke crisply:
"Grandma, father, I am willing to go to the Gu Mansion."
As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at the small person on the couch in surprise.
"I often hear my father say that the Gu Mansion has a vast collection of books. I have longed for it in my heart. Besides, my grandmother always teaches us to be grateful and repay kindness. How could I not know that? If that young master Yan is rampant and domineering, I will persuade him if I can. Wouldn't everyone be happy? If I can't persuade him, I will complain to Uncle Gu!"
Bai Qian snorted twice, and his family members tried to persuade him again.
Seeing that Locus Bai was determined to study with Aiden Gu, they had no choice but to disperse and pack up Locus Bai's things.
Michael Bai's family returned to the room, and Lin asked Locus Bai if he was sincere.
Locus Bai comforted his mother with a few words, which were nothing more than to show his attitude and that he would study hard.
Seeing that his father was still worried and guilty, Bai Qian could only say
"If Master Yan is really like what grandma said, An'er might come back within a day of arriving at the Gu family. And from what my father said, the teacher hired by the Gu family must be a great scholar, which will be helpful to my son's studies."
Michael Bai was touched that his son, who was only eight years old, could say such things. At the same time, he was worried about his weak body and whether it would be affected. He turned over more often when he went to bed.
This caused Mrs. Grace, who was already sad because her son had never left her side, to sob softly. Michael Bai was busy comforting his wife until midnight when the couple fell into a deep sleep.
Bai Qian hid in the bed, discussing with Xiao Mei in his mind how to rescue the mission target, but they couldn't come up with a clue for a long time.
The only thing she wanted was to stop him from being overbearing and to stop him from snatching the heroine's recipe after more than ten years, but Aiden Gu might not listen.
He was doted on by his grandmother and mother above him and fawned on by servants below him. How could he possibly listen to the words of a little study companion!
If you start with making friends, the only way to please Aiden Gu is through fun tricks.
These he will neither do nor deviate from his original intention
I touched my hair. It seems that all my hair is going to fall out.
He sighed softly in a very old-fashioned way, but he couldn't let the nanny sleeping outside hear him.
I can only harass Xiaomei in my mind
"Can the cutest system Xiaomei give your poor host a little hint?"
Locus Bai conjured up a Q-version man in his mind, staring at the jellyfish with tearful eyes.
Xiaomei was hit in the heart, her face was bleeding
After a while, she sobbed:
[Wow, Xiaomei has detected that this world has not been functioning since its creation. The original novel can only be used as a reference. The system cannot provide the best solution. It is Xiaomei who is useless. Xiaomei is not the cutest system TAT]
It seems that we can’t start from the system side. Well, we’ll just have to wait and see!
Locus Bai, who could only rely on himself to figure things out, sighed again. The Q-version man took Xiaomei by the hand and praised her several times, which made Xiaomei become a happy little idiot again. Then the two of them watched SpongeBob SquarePants happily together.
